The electronic structure of the epitaxial GaN, InN nanolayers, and the ultrathin Cs/GaN and Cs/InN interfaces was investigated under ultrahigh vacuum at various Cs coverages. The experiment was carried out using synchrotron‐based photoelectron spectroscopy. The photoemission spectra of the valence band and the In 4d, N 2s, Ga 3d, and Cs 4d semicore levels were studied as a function of Cs coverages. It was found that the Cs adsorption in the submonolayer coverage region causes substantial changes in the spectra due to charge transfer between the Cs adlayer and surface Ga or In atoms. The strong interaction of the dangling bonds of Ga or In with Cs adatoms effectively increases the Ga or In valency.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
